You are correct. They should be more orange than the pics. I didn't notice it last night to compare when I took the pics. I think it's the lighting if not the camera (Please tell me it's the camera so I can tell the wife to buy a new one
). I didn't use the flash because it reflects off the glass and gives weird shadows on the pic.
I'm not sure if it's true for all MP's but I like the color (and the shape) of the female better.
I'll give an update in about 2 months how the fry turn out. Water here is hard. I followed the advise of a hobbyist/breeder to just put rock salt to make the water soft. I forgot he lives in a another city. Out of 228 eggs, about 3-5 turned white, and about 2.5 to 3 dozen hatched. The dad practiced on two-thirds (first successful hatch for the pair, although mom looked like a pro already). There's less than a dozen that survived and hopefully make it. I'm assembling the R/O unit this weekend.

Have you been feeding these melons with TetxxBxtx?  The reason I'm asking is because my melon also looks similar to yours...i almost would call it a "Red Diamond"
Anyways, good luck with the fries!
See ya around! |
Hehe! I feed them Colorbits, blackworms and earthworm flakes.
I'll see what I can do with the pics with Photoshop. If it doesn't work, I take more pics.
